You may count these sheep to wildlife, because most of them graze in nature reserve places, of whatever you call them. Those don't get fed in winter, they have to survive on the vegetation available. Only a part is taken out by the sheperd each day.
This is the oldest native breed of the Netherlands and they were mentioned as early as the 14th century.
And though he might look black to you all, I have to disappoint you. His fleece will turn white like his mother's, with maybe some grey in a few months time. It's what we call a 'redeye', because of the light circles around the eyes.
Beautiful photo Jeroen.

Hi Jeroen, Very well composed, and a lovely scene. The absence of a horizon and the almost horizontal angle to the sheep as well as the lack of distance give the impression this one is taken on a dyke.... Nice wintery touch, but I do think the colours are slightly off, they kind of seem subdued.... Nonetheless a very good one, my compliments!
Cheers,
Hugo

Good question Teunis. They're as you know a herd walking free (with a shephard) during daytime.
I consider pets people kept in homes, which makes production animals problematical to classify as they're neither pets nor wildlife...

I'd like to see this from a lower angle, but I LOVE how the texture of the ewe and the grass are so similar.
How did you get this high view point?
